They say laughter is the best medicine, and Daggum Roy will make you laugh. I'm still bitter towards the North Carolina Tar Heels for hurting me after the 2009 National Title game by beating the Michigan StateSpartans. (did a semester of grad school in East Lansing) And they traumatized/scarred me for life by beating the Illinois Fighting Illini in the 2005 National Title game. (my alma mater)

In 2010, I asked the real Roy Williams a question at a post game press conference and got a Daggum Roy response. In Champaign, after they just lost badly at U of I, I asked about Harrison Barnes, and the defense Illinois played against him. Roy Williams responded with an anti-ESPN tirade in which he hilariously mixed metaphors, used the word “balls” and gave me a “Repeat the dang gum question.”

Yes, I found that wrong and unintentionally funny as well. But enough about Roy Williams, let’s talk to Daggum Roy.

Duke assistant Chris Collins. You've faced him plenty of times. Good or bad hire for Northwestern?

Who's gonna do all Mike's halftime talkin' for him? Mike ain't talked to sideline lady-feller one in bout 5 years.

Very true. The McDonald's All-American game will be here for the third straight year in a few days. At the United Center. Are you targeting any of those undecideds left in the group? How is Kentucky's John Calipari beating you out on the recruiting trail? You've got to stop him.
